The numbers behind fan favourite McGrath

We asked and plenty of you decided Jamie McGrath has been Hibernian's player of the year.

The 29-year-old joined David Gray's side last summer and has been a standout in the middle of the pitch. With Hibs still battling for a European spot for next season, he could still have a huge part to play before the end of the season.

And we've taken a look at the stats behind his performances.

So far McGrath has played 31 league games for Hibs, scoring eight goals and setting up a further three. Those eight goals make him Hibs' top scorer and also the second-top scorer in the league when it comes to midfielders.

McGrath's 11 combined goals and assists is bettered only by Nygren and Rangers' Nicolas Raskin – when looking at midfielders – and is among the highest for all players in the top flight.

Of his four big chances, McGrath has scored three of them and has also created 48 chances – the most of any Hibs player and the seventh highest of any player in the league – and 29 of those have come from open play. The Irish international has also created five big chances, only Nicky Cadden has offered up more for Hibs.

If McGrath can come up with a few more goals and assists between now and the end of the season and help Hibs bag European football for next year it will be hard to look past the midfielder for Hibernian's player of the season.
